Ableism: Let’s Define It!

Ableism, an often-overlooked form of discrimination, affects millions of people with disabilities. In this course, you’ll explore what ableism means. You’ll also spend some time identifying language in your community that may be harmful to people with disabilities. By the end of this course, you’ll have a valuable addition to your personal glossary to help you engage in meaningful conversations.

The Culture & Belonging Glossary Series helps boost understanding and confidence around terms related to creating a culture of belonging in the workplace. These terms - which often come up in work conversations - are used to honor our identities and lived experiences.
